for some of the races that have less reasons to be played have a fun little table you can look at for ideas of why this rare race might be an adventurer, unfortunately both species of Gith don’t have this sooo, I want to consult ideas and make my own table of ideas, so far I have
Githyanki
The intense training as a child was to much for you and you choose to run away
In your ritual to become an adult and kill a mind flayer your group failed leaving you as the only survived
when going out a raid you and your group got captured, in captivity you learned of the Lich queens lies
you have always despised the Lich queen and ran away the first chance you got
Githzeria
the githzeria sent you out a lone quest to hunt mind flayers and train
you’ve always thought the githzeria where cowards for hiding in limbo and left to be more retroactive
the material plane has always fascinated you
these are just a few ideas I have and I’d love to hear what other ideas exist

Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes does present ideas and options for why a Gith character may want to go adventure. It also includes the personality, bonds, ideals and flaws tables for them, lore about secret groups on the material plane, names tables, and more.
And for the love of all things fluffy, it's Githzerai.

I do like some of these though, especially the thought that your Githyanki raiding team lost! Must have been an adventurer, or they just picked the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm a DM in a spelljammer campaign and one of my characters is a Githzerai Druid Circle of the Land, and he was essentially sent to the Rock of Bral by the Githzerai to monitor illithid activities.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
As mentioned above, MTF does include some of this sort of thing, but I also really like your own adventurer hooks--especially the idea that a githyanki learned of Vlaakith's lies! The gith (both kinds) are my favorite playable race. So much fun! :)
